There should be more now coming up occasionally but how do I keep them going? The soil is very moist and I am thinking that might be the problem but if I don't keep it that way it dries out very fast due to the heat mats. What are the steps to take after they sprout. If I uncover the whole seed mat and only a few have sprouted won't that affect the ones that haven't? I am new at this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks
